About Rad Parents
Hi, I’m Claire! I’m a perinatal counsellor, parenting cheerleader and mother. I’ve worked with hundreds of parents struggling in silence and it’s my mission to make early parenthood way more fun and way less sh*t.
I understand how it feels to doubt yourself, as a parent, and to struggle mentally, feeling like you’ve lost yourself. I’ve been there too.
Through compassionate counselling or birth debriefing, I can help you work through the ups and downs of life as a parent, and find heaps more confidence and self-compassion.
I also run an epic postpartum preparation and support program called Beyond Birth, and offer evidence-based, holistic parenting support once your little one arrives.
I believe parenting is too difficult and too beautiful to do alone. I’d be honoured to be part of your village of support.

Beyond Birth Program
Every day, I speak to parents who tell me they wish they'd known how to prepare for postpartum. This is why I created Beyond Birth.
It's an incredibly comprehensive postpartum preparation and support program, and it's perfect for you if you're bringing home a baby for the very first time.
It's my hope that by joining the program, you'll have the most supported and nourishing postpartum period possible.
I'm offering 5 spots for the pilot round.

Why Hiring Postpartum In-Home Support Can Transform Your Recovery
If I had my way, support would be non-negotiable and, in an ideal world, would have government funding, so everyone can access the help we all deserve. We can shape our families' and therefore babies' complete outcomes (and lives!) by providing education, but above all, support in those early days. It is essential for a mother who has given birth to rest and recover.
